Rugby black eye healing techniques

Read Michelle's post today and thought I probably have to help keep this blog alive although I might be the reason its dying in the first place(i know,counter productive). Before i start on the injury I just had,I wanna comment a bit on her post:

1)I aint an alcoholic,she is
2)She exaggerated on the cocktail,it aint that bad(although she was jumping about afterwards)
3)We asked for directions(despite her living there for 3 years)and I lead the way
4)I refused any photos taken but shes really persistent
5)Shes the one who wanted fish and chips,i was just hungry
6)It wasnt my fault she missed her class
7)No idea,just wanted 7 reasons(i'll figure it out later)

Went to the all blacks classics vs rest of the world game over the weekend. great fun.it was an amazing game,me and my best buds(plus others) were quite impressed. its always different from watching it on tv. although i have to say that the one who impressed me the most is the no10 from the rest of the world team. jonah was a disappointment,owh how i looked up to him so much when i was younger. the other all blacks winger was more impressive,his work rate is just like tevez on a football pitch.theres quite a number of us who went plus met loads of people whom i already know(not surprising since i know most of them through rugby). also met my ex-colleagues there. never knew them as rugby fans but they seem to enjoy it,good stuff.

The game kinda psyched me up for a game that i'll be playing the next day. wasnt my best game but i did my job i guess.luckily a few others were on fire(not naming them,they know who they are)so it was an easy game. disappointed with a certain someone who tore some of my teammates morale down and also myself.if only i wasnt too eager.halfway through the 2nd half,some asshole kicked me in the eye(literally,in the eye). to be fair to him it wasnt intentional but who the hell tries to do a somersault when tackled?!! went to a hospital to have it checked out(i kinda know its just swollen,but rather be on the safe side), i was right,its just swollen,doc cant do anything bout it except for giving me eye drops,something to ease the swollen,pain meds and antibiotics.i refuse the pain meds and antibiotics cos theyre kinda pointless so i dont wanna pay more for them. at the moment half of my left eye is bloodshot red and the part underneath it is swollen reddish black. I'm not gonna put pictures up cos its inappropriate(just like those who tried to get a pic of it today).doc says it'll be a couple of weeks before it fully recovers. kinda annoying,cos other than that,i'm totally fine. it kinda holds me back. tough luck.

In just slightly more than a day,I have tried so many 'techniques to reduce the swollen. I used ice,pineapple,hot water and boiled egg.i was assured by each person who told me to do it that it will work,guess i'll know if any does tomorrow ( you cant expect the results to be come instantly),which one,i have no idea,may i shouldve tried one each day not all of them in the same day.the pineapple and the boiled egg were new to me. if you're asking how i use them,i aint telling,try figuring that out.

I probably went over the word limit but its to compensate for not doing a post for awhile. Michelle is still having her finals so good luck and i'll do a post on you one of these coming days. think of it as a thank you for being so nice
